ORISE provides expertise in the medical management of radiation incidents through the operation of the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site
(REAC/TS), a dedicated DOE facility located in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

ORAU, managing contractor of ORISE, collaborates with federal, state and local agencies to provide health communication and training solutions that enhance the well-being of the public and the nation’s workers.

Recently discontinued, the University Radioactive Ion Beam (UNIRIB) consortium consisted of eight partner universities that performed basic nuclear physics research using the fast-growing technique of radioactive ion beams.

ORAU, which manages ORISE for DOE, works closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to perform research focused on air quality, contaminant dispersion and climate through its Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn.—Career center staff representing 21 colleges and universities were onsite at Oak Ridge National Laboratory Tuesday, July 12, for the first ever Career Center Discovery Event. The opportunity, which was co-hosted by ORNL and Oak Ridge Associated Universities, was open to college and university career center employees who are interested in learning more about research opportunities at the lab that they can then share with students at their schools. Attendees got the chance to visit some of the lab’s 10 user facilities and toured the historic Graphite Reactor (pictured above). Designated as a historic landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1966 and by the American Nuclear Society in 1992, the Graphite Reactor was a pilot facility for the production of plutonium during the World War II Manhattan Project and then became a pioneering facility for the production of radioisotopes and early neutron-scattering experiments. Items on display at the Graphite Reactor include a representation of fuel rods being loaded into the reactor.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is a multi-purpose science and energy laboratory managed by UT-Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy.

Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) is a university consortium leveraging the scientific strength of 98 major research institutions to advance science and education by partnering with national laboratories, government agencies, and private industry. ORAU manages the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education for the U.S. Department of Energy.
